Choices

So lately I found myself pondering something a little bit theological. This is that if God knows everything that's going to happen, why does He give us choices? I asked a few friends about it and the general consensus is the same. God gives us choices, and his plan includes all different situations that could happen. What God knows is endless. He knows how things are going to happen to matter what we choose to do. It's our job, I would go as far as say it's our personal responsibility to choose to do things that fit into God's plan. If we don't, we might find ourselves on the outside looking in.

I don't know about you, but when it comes to God, I don't want to be on the outside looking in. I don't want to be in the mindset that God is against me or that I have to fight Him for some reason. When we take the time to spend with God it makes our choices for our lives easier. When we give up control to Him and let Him fight our battles, life gets so much easier.

In my life right now, I don't have a job. Now, for some people, this would be extremely stressful. There has been opportunities for temporary positions not in the IT field that I could have taken advantage of but I know God has something great planned for me in my field. I just have to be patient and let things happen how they happen. I was blessed to work at Suncor last summer and still have money in my savings to live. It's not a lot, but hey, living rent free in my parents place while I look for a job here in Edmonton has been a huge blessing.

Anyways, I guess the point of this post is really just to follow the plan God has for your life because it's easier to be with Him then against Him. 'If God is for us, who can stand against us.' God knows what will happen in the future and it will happen whether or not you want to be involved so it's up to us here on Earth to make the choice.
